Learn Immigration Options
Getting a proper legal consultation from a trusted expert is crucial in family preparedness planning since they can better determine if you are currently eligible for any immigration benefit.
For your protection, it is not recommended that you seek assistance from “notarios” who are not licensed to practice law. Remember: A public notary who is not a licensed attorney cannot fill out or file immigration forms on your behalf. They also should not give you legal advice.
